Our goal is to help them to buld safer and modern environment and to give more opportunities for talented students to reach higher.
- Also in rural locations culture and worldview are quite limited and it causes all kinds lack of tolerance issues. One of our goals is to change that.
- We are looking forward to find more partners abroad, where education is highly rated and bring all good practice to our supported schools for more effective managment and educational methods.

Main Projects / Activities

"Step into new year with a new book" - donating new fiction books to school libraries. Most of rural schools cannot afford to buy new books, neither children parents. The books we donate are often the only ones kids can access. This project is going for 15 years and we have spent ~€1M
Leadership, business, art programmes - we choose talented students from rural school and bring them to the camp in capital or near sea, where they can work and study with best proffesionals in respective field. We see this opportunity not only as developing skills and get some actual practice for students, but also as a motivational time, where kids from distant locations can understant what they can achieve in the future.
